This week, Mike and Rick talk about big changes in the Big Apple, the rabble-rousing Charles Murray, and the time Mike dressed up as a cheerleader. Our interview is a sign of things to come, and News of the Weird gets medieval on you.

This week, Mike and Rick talk about why Quality Counts thinks U.S. education is the world's best, kids at Brown have so much time to throw naked parties, and Texas is a progressive place. We've got an interview with Alexander Russo (who says Andrew Rotherham is in way over his head with this education stuff), and News of the Weird is ''wax on, wax off.''
